PRESENTATION OUTLINE
The first impression you get when you see surreal photography is “what the…” and then, of course, you observe the brilliant idea that’s behind it, the wonderful way of transforming into reality a person’s imagination. Knowing that these photographers have an incredible imagination, you can probably presume the result of their work. Brilliant at least. Today, we look at sample of the most biazarre and unreal photos ever made.
Surreal means the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream. It is a very creative style of photography as you have to have a sense of vision and imagination to create things others wouldn’t normally see.
